Titans answer the roster question: Joshua Williams is activated, and Erick Hallett is waived

Tennessee moved cornerback Joshua Williams off injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s game at Indianapolis, while also trimming defensive back Erick Hallett from the roster. The Titans also listed Timmy Horne and Isaiah Oliver as gameday elevations.

The Titans have activated cornerback Joshua Williams from injured reserve, making him eligible to play in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to an announcement from the team.

Tennessee paired the activation with a roster move of its own, waiving defensive back Erick Hallett.

The team also confirmed two additional gameday elevations for Sunday: defensive lineman Timmy Horne and safety Isaiah Oliver.

The activation comes after the Titans opened a three-week practice window earlier in the month that allowed Williams to work with the team without counting against the 53-man roster, after he was placed on injured reserve on August 31 with a pectoral injury.

Williams’ return to game eligibility gives Tennessee an immediate option at corner and depth for special teams. Over his NFL career, the team noted he has appeared in 65 games with 12 starts, with 86 tackles, 18 passes defensed, and a sack and an interception.

Why It Matters

  • Williams’ activation directly affects the Titans’ defensive-back availability for Sunday at Indianapolis.
  • Waiving Erick Hallett indicates a specific roster change to accommodate the return and gameday needs.
  • With Horne and Oliver elevated for game day, Tennessee is shaping its active-game mix on both the defensive line and in the secondary.
  • The moves suggest the Titans are prioritizing health readiness and immediate contributors rather than waiting for a longer return timeline.
